Final corner for the Red Devils, Onana is up. Casemiro sends a scissor kick into the back of the net, and Spurs are already celebrating!
Vicario’s tremendous save!
The Italian goalkeeper preserves Spurs’ victory with Shaw’s last-ditch header! Vicario fetches it with a dive off his line!
A shot of desperation for Yoro
With the whole of Manchester United in front of their opponents’ box, the ball swung from right to left and the Frenchman finally took responsibility. But his long-range shot flew into the Bilbao sky.
Maguire donates his body to science
The technique is clear now: crosses into the box for the big defender. Maguire takes Danso’s bust in his stride.
We’re in added time!
Time is running out too quickly for the Red Devils, who have 7 more minutes to snatch a possible equaliser!
More new faces

Maguire freaks out
The defender plays attacking football in the closing stages of the match to equalize, but loses his composure against Romero, who adds a lot to the duel. Maguire receives a yellow in his turn.
Another round for the Red Devils
